I understand your concerns about the possibility of legal costs being passed on to leaseholders. However, we are aware of this risk and will take steps to prevent landlords from charging their costs as the case progresses.
@HouseRowena
The claim seeks to recover commission payments shared between landlords and their insurance brokers without leaseholders’ knowledge. These commissions are included within the insurance premiums for buildings and terrorism insurance.
